Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Char the spicy peppers directly over a gas flame or on a grill (they should blacken on all sides). Place them in a plastic bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Carefully scrape off the charred skin with a small knife. Be careful not to tear the peppers. Gently make a vertical slit in each pepper. Remove the seeds (the peppers should remain whole).
Step 2
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and thyme; sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 7 minutes until the mushrooms darken. Add the sherry; stir for 1–2 minutes until all the liquid evaporates. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Add the goat cheese and cilantro; mix well.
Step 3
Insert 1 slice of cheese into each pepper. Fill the peppers with the mushroom mixture. Press to close the opening.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with oil. In a shallow bowl, mix the wheat flour with the corn flour. Brush the peppers with egg white and coat them in the flour mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the peppers until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes on each side. Pour 60 ml of chili sauce onto each plate (reserve the remaining sauce for another dish), and place 2 peppers on top. Garnish with avocado, add sour cream, and feta cheese.
